Anne Back to top Tonym Joined: 07 Oct 2007 Posts: 91 Location: East Sussex Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 3:44 pm    Post subject: Anne The only other details that I have to hand are from the "Armed Forces Memorial Roll of Honour" and they are:- Service number, 8031549 - Station, RAF Leconfield - Place of Birth/Home Town, Menstrie Clackmannanshire, - Date of Birth 2nd February 1949. I will have to go back to the RAF Forum to see if anybody can answer the 'What was she doing on the flight' question.

No specific reason for her being on the flight the only additional details are:- The Spring 1970 Air Force List gives her as an acting Pilot officer with graduation date of 1 Aug 1969 in the Secretarial Branch (Supplementary List). Whether her Secretarial duties involved compiling a report, as this was a training flight, is speculation.
